Are we talking about one man playing all the parts to Free Bird by himself live, or are we talking about one man multi-tracking all the different parts in the studio? The latter is certainly possible, but the former would prove a daunting task to just about any musician unless they were to sprout two more sets of hands. hehe If I were going to play Free Bird in front of an audience with just a guitar, I'd work out a special arrangement of it prior to the performance that optimizes the one guitar limitation while trying to still keep as much of the original nuances of the song intact. If on the other hand I were going to go the one-man-band route as you mentioned, I suppose I'd probably just program the sequencer to supply the drum & bass parts, and then I'd fill in the guitar parts & vocals live. Maybe to make it interesting, I'd have a piano sequenced to play the other guitar parts that are harmonizing together with the ones that I'd be playing on the guitar. That'd be interesting to see!
